The Being Mortal Project

As part of a national conversation led by Hospice Foundation of America, we’re bringing the PBS FRONTLINE film Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End into our community. We’re holding multiple screenings and discussions, inviting the community to join the conversation.

Based on the best-selling book by Atul Gawande, MD, this documentary explores the hopes of patients and families facing terminal illness and their relationships with the physicians who treat them.

See the film and be part of a national conversation that brings medical professionals and community members together around the shared responsibility of discussing what matters most to patients and families facing difficult treatment decisions and how to have these conversations ahead of a medical crisis.
